How to Install YouTube on iOS 6

Once the YouTube app is installed look for the new YouTube icon. The new YouTube app is an improvement, with better sharing to social media, channel support, but it lacks uploading.

The new YouTube icon is the one that is highlighted. If the user downloads the app before upgrading to iOS 6 the new YouTube will still be there and the old version will be lost in the update.

Uploading to YouTube on iOS 6

Users can still upload videos to YouTube with the Photos app or with iMovie, so the lack of in app uploading in the new YouTube app isn’t a major loss. To share, find the video in Photos, tap the share icon and then choose YouTube.

iOS 6 YouTube uploads still work in Photos.

Users can choose which account to upload to YouTube from, as well as all the YouTube upload options from iOS 5.

Some of the most anticipated are the new Apple Maps application with turn by turn navigation, Siri’s ability to check sports scores, post tweets & more, and Do Not Disturb for actually winding down at the end of the day.

While it seems like iOS 6 may be the perfect companion for older iPhone’s there are a few snags. Some of these are not having full support for flyover mode in the new Maps application.

I have lost Safari from my I pad was there one day next day gone . How can I get it back . The app says I am not connected to the Internet but my mail comes in ok and I have looked and my wi fi is ticked . I am new to I pad .

Go to restrictions and see if its off and if it isn’t u should download puffin free or google chrome. On puffin u can play games that require I think it’s called flash player or shock wave that u can’t play on the safari

When will it happen. I hope it happen soon. I hate the new you tube app on iOS 6, it sucks big time, I have the ipad 2 which is pre installed on the main Manu, it was very good, but after in downloaded the iOS 6. It disappeared. Google please mix the problem.

Lets get beyond obvious responses and provide useful solutions if any. Downloading a poor app from Apple is not what people on this forum are after. The resolution is awful. Doesn’t fit to landscape. Searches are tedious, etc. Apple is learning the downside of trying to keep things proprietary. If you’re greedy Apple, be prepared to experience isolation from your service providers. And next time, let your customers know that by “upgrading” they will end up with a pooer experience. At least then they can decide.

Is there anyway around this. My 2yr old daughter loved to watch vids on the old YouTube. She could easily navigate to history, etc. when I updated to iOS 6.0 I lost that version. Had I known I would have never updated. Any ideas?

Well said. Started writing something similar. Dropped it when I remembered that money talks and corporate greed makes a poor audience (Honey Badger don’t care). Anyway, I came across this posting within minutes of my own decision to let Apple face the consequences without me. Again, well said.

So stupid that you cant go back…..I now have a toy..thats it. Im disabled and bought the Ipad so my long long painful days could be occupied, now Im unable to watch ..and on a small budget so cant replace. Will put it away and learn my lesson, never ever to update anything, as if its not broke , you dont “fix” it. Money grabbers the lot of them…

Jasmine – YouTube Client (Free) by Morrissey Exchange Pty Ltd is another free alternative for YouTube. If you aren’t satisfied with the official YouTube app (since the native YouTube app is no more), then this app is a great choice to consider.

Once I have upgraded to ios6. I have the following problems: I don’t know how to play the playlist or favorites in YouTube. In music icon can’t open the videos folder, instead those videos open from video icon, but without video’s folder. Still more coming.

You know you can still access Google Maps via Safari, right? All it takes is you going to find the website online, which takes seconds longer than opening the app does. Just because the app is gone, doesn’t mean you can’t use Google Maps any other way. Same goes for YouTube. Calm down, people.

Hi there, I found the same frustration! When on my iPad, using the iPhone youtube app, I just double clicked the home button at base of iPad and then scroll the menu sideways to the right, and select ‘mirroring’ ON.. Youtube then plays on the apple tv! Tilt your iPad/phone sideways for bigger view. Good luck. Not sure if the new apple tv plays airplay from youtube without doing this though as that would be better.

I bought iPad 2 because of YouTube, and now it is not there, to me it is total loss. Also I have made an effort in savings videos which i like in “favourites”, and everything i had there is gone. I wish if I have read the reviews before upgrading to iOS 6. I am started questioning Apple strategies, though their products are excellent but they are not aware what people like…since they made me liking their products, and now I am very disappointed.

I give you some good news, relax all your favorites are stored under bookmarks in the safari,
Please check your safari bookmarks, there should be a youtube folder.
Apple is not bad after all.
Good day
Avyu

By Luck, i was thinking in so many ways to get back my fav, even complicated methods like system dumps and so on,
I would have lost almost 1.5 years of video collection.
But just by luck i had this strange idea to look in safari bookmarks.

Hi Avyu,
Thank you for your knowledge! I too was soooo upset as I thought I lost all my favorites that I had downloaded in the old YouTube but now my question is how do I sync my old favorites from the old YouTube with the new YouTube I have now?

I think new products will have an opportunity they could not have previously. However, before Apple decided to drop these vital apps that their users use on a daily basis, they should have had something of quality to replace them. This would have offered users a choice instead of being offered a downgrade. While I understand they what to remove their entanglements with Google, they should have thought far enough ahead and with consideration about the effects of their decision on their users. People change when they have enough dissatisfaction with current circumstances. Apple’s gamble with the user’s dissatisfaction on the new changes may be sufficient enough to affect loyalty. This could project the sentiment that they do not care for the customers. When you no longer care for your customer, then they will find satisfaction elsewhere.

Do you not know how to read people? Apple had a legitimate reason to take off the youtube app. In actuality, It is youtube’s fault that they dont have an app intergrated into IOS 6 because they decided to get rid of the license. Understand that and take it because there is nothing you can change.

When on youtube’s iPhone app, using my iPad, I double clicked HOME button at base of iPad, and menu appears. Scroll to right and you will see ‘mirroring’ Select On. Youtube then plays to tv albeit smaller, but tilt iPad sideways for bigger horizontal view.
Good luck

I hope that apple can return to the old YouTube I am very angry about the download of ios6 If I knew that I would not be able to get my faviorts back from the new YouTube. I. Would of never download ios6 please do something about this

This is bs.. Now my Facebook doesn’t show my timeline either. Just a logo that says no new stories. I thought the new iOS would be better. I’m doubting that with the loss of YouTube and glitches with Facebook

WOOO! The ios6 is out but does jack sh*t for the iPhone 4 user cuz you don’t get the new Siri, 3D map, Panorama etc .. I wish I can downgrade back to ios5 .. Its pointless to have the ios6 if your a iPhone 4 user cuz you don’t get anything that they advertise!

I want the old ios5 is that possible? I already downloaded the ios 6 and its horrible i loved the old youtube because it would let me view only the new videos that my subs uploaded an now its all dumb and it will only show up in the news feed. Great disappointment.

I hate the new YouTube, I lost the volume option on the screen wich sucks, do not like to use the side buttons, don’t like that you have to turn the screen sideways to get rid of the detailed information.

I can’t believe apple have gotten rid of it !!! I spent all my time on YouTube on my iPad which was great with the big screen, I’m so upset its gone if I could go back to IOS5 I would do it right this second, so annoyed and disappointed :/

I was really mad too, because YouTube app was really good, and I thought I lost favorites. But the favorites are in safari bookmarks. Also download Jasmine for iPad. It is even better than the old YouTube app.

If you load up you tube via safari then bookmark it by selecting the icon at the top left of the screen, it is a rectangle with an arrow sticking out (the one next to the cloud). Then hey presto you are back in business.

I can’t believe people are writing and others are reading such posts!? It’s like reading about how to drink glass of beer…. I look forward to read about: “How to turn on your Ipad device”… are you really that stupid to follow such posts which have been posted in reply to popular search phrases?

iDums, doesn’t the fact that so many people are posting and commenting tell you something? We can’t all be iPad super nerds you know. Respect the differences in others and learn to let live. Oh and Please don’t go searching for how to drink beer instructions as you are angry enough without it.

It said I needed this update so I did it. YouTube was my life! It was my favorite app ever! After I updated it YouTube was gone! I was shocked! I asked my dad if he could get is back, but there is no YouTube for iPad year. All there is is iPhone! So it’s huge and hard to work with! There is also something called jasmine which is a stupid app that is really slow and everything I type in says “no results found!” It’s a dumb app. Don’t get it! I told my dad that this was the worst thing that ever happend to me! I cried for an hour! I hate iOS6!

Hi AvYu, I found it in the safari like you said, but only for a day. Then I have no idea what happened, it s all gone the next day. Very frustrated now. And when I tried to save more favorites, it always says your fab has been saved. But I can never find where they are. I m so frustrated with iOS ver6. Any help will be immensely appreciated.

So after installing ios6 a few hours ago and seeing that my youtube app was gone, I found this thread. One new feature is the add app to home screen. So here is my recommendation, go to http://m.youtube.com/#/home which is the mobile site for YouTube and also the one you use to sync with devices like the ps3. You can use this without the ps3 and just play on the iPad. It will allow playback in HD. After signing in, go to the home screen, then click the button near the address bar square with arrow. And save it. Tell me what you think. Also this is a great solution because it looks like Safari is not carrying the new version of flash player, but this workaround is still good for that.

I think the writer has used the wrong phrase to explain why there is no Youtube on iOS6. Apple does not want to install Youtube on iPhone; therefore they did not need to pay the license fee in order to have the Youtube app on the iOS6. Apple does not “lost the YouTube license”; instead they reject to keep the license for all iDevices’s users. This is another way Apple tries to earn more by selling a less functionable iDevices to the customers. Fans of Apple! WAKE UP NOW! You love Apple. Apple in fact may not love you except the money you paid for the iDevices. Same price with less functions. Apple wants to hedge every single penny from the customers. Can you see?

arrrrgh!!!! WTF apple????? SERIOUSLY???? maps BLOWS!!!! no street view?? directions now is horrible!!! google allows to multiple options of bus, walking or driving.. your crappy ass maps is the same as using an ACTUAL paper map. and no YOUTUBE??? Fffffaaawwwk youuuuuu apple. or should i say fawQ APPHOLE!!!!!! for the “leader” in computer technology…..wow. what a ridiculous massive failure. wtf were you guys THINKING??????

Well I’m glade to see someone is finally sticking to crapple in their quest of proprietary dominance…. I hate both companies fighting the for the monopoly. But if I would of known they were going to take YouTube away I wouldn’t have upgraded my mom piece of shit maxipad. Again it is good to see someone’s finally hitting macinshit hard, but I wanted somebody other then google to have the balls to.

Thank you very much you stupid ios6!!! I never been so negative and dissapointed about new updates.. BUT THIS NEW YOUTUBE UPGRADE IS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope apple goes down with its new ios6. Why you make me hate you so much right now aaaahh?

God damn tha fuck you pigs smoking there??? Youtube???? Seriously??? YOU FUCKS!!! I`ll never forgive you! Been with this shitfone for nearly two years, My contract is finishing in next month!! Ohhhhh yes S3 come to daddy!! P.S. Just my last wish…

Take that idiot who created ios6 a such a shit with ruining youtube to woods and shoot him in legs, then arms, then in the fucking hed!!

I hate the new YouTube version. I download it in my new iPhone, and I cannot manage what so called my favorite in my account. There is not button anywhere that I can delete any video in my favorite channel. Two, every time I click on a video it starts to play. I don’t want that damn video to play, I want to see what is next after a certain video. Don’t play video for me when I didn’t choose to. The bottom line is simple, whoever design the new version YouTube is totally an IDIOT. I wish they just leave the old version alone. If stupid google want to redesign, make simple to use it. But again typical google. I hate google.

I wish I have never “upgraded” to IOS6. In actuality it was a downgrade! Apple should at least inform that we would lose features so that we can decide whether or not we want to “upgrade” or, better, downgrade our systems or softwares. There is a huge room for improvement in the service provided by Apple. They can sell great hardware, but when it comes to service after that, they suck!

Apple is all about monopoly and controlling its customers about what to do with their paid expensive iOS devices, not only you pay a lot of money for apple devices, but you are controlled and limited on what do do with your device, it is like if you were leasing it instead of owning it.
The worst part is that this company will not stop abusing their customers until the mob of zombies that follow them stop buying their devices.
I can’t believe all those zombies making lines from days before to buy the crappy iPhone 5.
Please anything that the iPhone 5 does an iPhone 4 can do it, all you need is to jailbreak it, but people don’t understand that and they just act like hipnotized zombies buying every device they come up with basically every 6 months. People needs to use their brain and don’t allow apple to abuse them.

I agree with ALL that has been submitted in regards to this system upgrade. My main issue about this YOU TUBE downgrade / debacle is that I cannot DELETE a YOU TUBE favorite of mine. To add insult to injury when I contacted Apple Care about the YOU TUBE issue .. the off the cuff comment, don’t upgrade till all the hiccups are corrected. REALLY !!

I just wish Apple had been more open and honest with us. We should have been informed about this loss of functionality with the IOS6 release notes. I now have become very suspicious of Apple and will proceed very cautiously before “upgrading”.

I used to listen to music on YouTube. You could double click the home button and the little menu thing would pop up and while YouTube was open you could press play and go on other apps while the music on YouTube was playing. I can’t do that anymore since ios 6. I hate it. :(

Apple is pulling another one on you! And everione is liking it. Like a new app for you tube. It is crapy!!! It does not work with Air Play. It will only deliver the sound not the video. That is wrong with all this funs of apple???

Apperntly I’m some of the lucky few who knew this would happen(not gloating, and I feel for those that didn’t know). I dl’d the iPhone version while giving a better social options it totally lacks in uploadability. In short the app sucks, well for now. I will wait to upgrade iOS 6 till a better version is out and I suggest others do the same.

This has completely aided my decision to move to getting the new nexus tablet. I am done with apple. After being a loyal apple consumer for many years, removing the YouTube app without letting people know is disturbing and the last straw. Off to list my iPad …..

Another airhead review by someone that totally glosses over the problems. What if you don’t want to update and more importantly why on an older phone where you lose many of the benefits but gain few of the new features. Might be an idea in future to be a journalist rather than a photocopier of publicity blurbs.

I honestly couldn’t care less about HOW the new Youtube works, but as a person who uses it while doing other thins I am disapointed by one major thing:

I CANNOT RUN YOUTUBE VIDEOS OFF BROWSER OR WHEN IT’S IN STANDBY MODE!

Basically if I want to listen to a video and play around with my documents app I got two options:
1: buy a second Iphone and use one for youtube, the other for the doc’s app
2: use computer for videos and iphone for doc’s tab.

When will it happen. I hope it happen soon. I hate the new you tube app on iOS 6, it sucks big time, I have the ipad 2 which is pre installed on the main Manu, it was very good, but after in downloaded the iOS 6. It disappeared. Google please mix the problem.

Aside from the volume control, I miss being able to easily read a stack of comments in the right column while the video plays. Jasmin looks ok. PlayTube is good, but cluttered. I suppose theres a legal reason none of these “new” player apps appear or function too similar to the simple old one from pre ios6. Any other recommendations? Free is great but it would be worth paying for to get something like the old one back.

I have the original iPad with os5 and I refuse to buy any replacement iPad until apple includes both utube and flash player as native apps. They are in the business of making money, not satisfying customer demands, and please don’t give me the liscense bs, apple could have solved it if they cared about customer base.
